The programme included a rigorous candidate screening, identification, and enrolment process, followed by extensive training modules, exposure visits, personality enhancement, business acumen skills workshop, and mentoring sessions. Participants engaged in practical tasks, and the programme culminated with the implementation of several community leadership projects and new business set-ups.

Our women empowerment projects are designed to create lasting impact by focusing on education, health, economic empowerment, and community development.' He further added, 'By empowering women through projects like YWFP, we help break down the structural barriers and create an inclusive and prosperous society. Our efforts in women's empowerment are not just about individual success stories but about transforming communities.'

The graduating young women were felicitated by the management of IndoSpace and provided with certificates and business kits. Jayant Rastogi, Global CEO, Magic Bus India Foundation, reiterated the significance of empowering women, saying, 'Empowering women through the Young Women Fellowship Programme is a pivotal step towards economic and social progress.
